Amex Balance Slow to Update on Credit Bureaus

[Chris87]

I was wondering if anyone has experienced this issue. I recently paid off my Amex balance and also received a CLI. My statement closes on the 1st or 2nd of every month. I've noticed that the balance is updated on Experian usually within 2 days. TransUnion and Equifax tend to take a bit longer (3-5 days). For whatever reason, my balance has not updated for the month of June on any of the bureaus. I've never had it take this long. Does it have anything to do with the CLI? I remember that Discover had some strange quirk, where if you received a CLI, the reporting skipped a cycle. Apparently, that no longer happens. Is there any way to get this to update?

I also paid off my Amex (BCP) and haven't seen it report to any CRA. My due date was 5/28 and closing was a 6/3. No CLI for me. Don't know what's going on

It's typical for TU to be slow.

Nothing you can do other than contact the creditor to ensure that they're updated the CRA.

I do know that, but I've never seen my Amex take this long to update. It's usually reports like clockwork.

I thought that I should post a quick update. My account still has not reported as paid to any of the three bureaus. The statement closed on June 2nd. It's really strange, because my Amex always updates very quickly (first on Experian, then Equifax and TransUnion a few days later). I'm not sure the reason for the delay. I paid off the balance and received a CLI, so maybe that affected something?

I notice that Amex is particularly slow this month. My statements close on Jun 9 and haven't been updated yet.

I am having the same problem. My Amex usually reports the same day every month. It's been two weeks past that date and it still hasn't updated.

If I pay just before the due date, it seems to report accurately.  Otherwise, they can awhile.  I didn't use it the month prior and they didn't report.

I have two Amex accounts.  My Optima account has not updated in just a tad over three months.  My ED account has been about six weeks or so.  The statement cut for that account almost two weeks ago, but still has not updated to any of the three CRA's.  Very rare for them, as far as I know.
